SHOW-STAND FOR COLLARS AND CUFFS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 373,823I dated November29, 1887.

(No model.)

To aZZ whom it 11mg/ concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. GALLUP, of the city of Troy, county ofRensselaer, and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulDevice'for Displaying Collars and Cuffs, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to an apparatus for holding and displaying collarsand cuffs when the latter by samples are exhibited for sale and myinvention consists (as will be more fully detailed hereinafter inconnection with its illustration) in the combination, with astandard-support, of a series of bracket-wires having on their outerends a support for an apparel collar and cuff, and on their inner endssaid bracket-wires being attached to the standard, with the latterpivotally connected with a base.

My invention also consists, as will be detailed hereinafter in theclaims, in the subcombination of the parts where they perform specificfunction.

Accompanying this specification, to form a part of it, there are fourplates of drawings containing eight figures illustrating my invention,with the same designation of parts by letter reference used in all ofthem.

Of the illustrations, Figure 1 shows a side elevation of astandard-support containing two of my devices for displaying collars andcuffs. Fig. 2 shows a view of the standardplate, in which the endsA ofthe brackets supporting the collar and cuff frame are inserted, saidplate being shown in larger proportion than at Fig. l. Fig. 3 shows oneof the bracket-wiresillustrated as detached from the standard-plate.Fig. 4 shows in side elevation the collar-frame and cuff-support asdetached from the bracket-wire. Fig. 5 shows a collar and cuff appliedto said frame. Fig. 6 shows the frame as illustrated at Fig. 4, but ashaving added thereto wire loops to support and spread out the capes ofawomans collar when such a collar is applied thereto. Fig. 7 shows inside elevation a collar having a cape and a cuff arranged on the framethat is shown at Fig. 6, with the vertical cusupports and the cape-loopsupports designated by dotted lines. Fig. 8 shows the completed stand.

The several parts of the apparatus thus illustrated are designated byletter reference, and the function of the parts is described as follows:

The letter S indicates a standard-support provided with a series ofencircling plates, p. These plates are punctured, as shown at O, toreceive the inner ends of the S-form bracketwiresW. This standard ismadein two parts, S3 S2, the lower standard part, S3, being adapted tohave the upper standard part, S2, enter it telescopically, and to resttherein upon the lower base-plate, p2, and thus make a pivotalconnection thereat.

The letter F designates a collar-frame having a hoop form made toconsist of a band, b', that is on its inner face,by means ofradiallyarranged wires wz, connected to the sockettube T, thelatterhaving on its under side a tubular opening, O2, adapted to receivethe outer end of the S-form bracket-wire W, by which the frame isattached to or detached from said bracket-wire. The letter b2 designatesa pin or button projected from the side of said frame to attach thefront ends of the collar thereat, and b3 apin and button at the oppositeside of said frame for buttoning thereon the back of the collar.

The letters L2 L2 designate wire cape-loops that are downwardly andoutwardly projected from the band of the collar-frame F, the function ofwhich is to spread out and keep in place the capes of womens collarswhen the frame is used to display and show the latter class of goods.

The letters C C C designate cuff-supports, which are made of wire, andwhich at their lower ends are attached to the inner sides of the frameF, and therefrom extended inwardly and then vertically and slightlyoutwardly to bend inwardly at the top in such a manner as to make thempress elastically outward after they have been forced inwardly to have acu placed around them, as shown at Figs. 4 and 7.

The letter R indicates rests or supports that are outwardly projectedfrom the bottom of the band b for the lower edge of the collar to restupon.

The letters N designate wire studs that are upwardly projected from theframe F, with the upper ends of said studs having coils. heliroo callymade therein, and thus adapted to rcceive cards containing cost-marksthere held in place by being pressed in between the coils.

As thus coustincted, the combined S-form bracket, as adapted to connectwith a standard-support when combined with the frame F, is by mea-ns ofthe buttons on the band b adapted to have placed thereon a mans collarwith the latter displayed in the position it has when worn, and when thesaid band b is combined with the loops LL L2 the device may be used todisplay a womans collar in the position it has when worn and with thecapes spread out. Any number of these bracketwires and frames that it isconvenient to use may be applied to a standard-support, and thus a largenumber of differing styles of collarsand cuffs may be shown anddisplayed at once.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with the S-form bracketwir'e W, adapted at one ofits ends to connect with a standard support, of the frame F, made withthe hoop-form band b', provided with buttoning attachments oppositelyarranged thereon, and a centrally arranged socket adapted to receive theouter end of said bracket-wire, substantially in the manner as and forthe purposes set forth.

2. The combination, with the S-form brack etwire YV, that at one of itsends is adapted to attach to a standard-support, of the frame F, madewith the hoop-form band b', that has oppositely-arranged buttoningdevices, said frame being provided with a socket to receive the outerend of the bracket-wire, and capeloops ULi, attached to said band,substantially in the manner as and for the purposes set forth.

3. The combination,with the S -form bracketwire W, adapted at one of itsends to attach to a standardsnpport, of the frame F, made withthe'hoop-form band b, and having buttoning devices oppositely arrangedthereon,said frame havinga socket to receive the outer end of saidbracket-wire, and being constructed with the cuff-stud supports C C C,connected to said frame, arranged substantially in the manner as and forthe purposes set forth.

4. The combination, with the S-form bracketwire W, adapted to connect atone of -its ends with a standard-support, of the frame F, made with theband b', having buttons oppositely arranged thereon, and the rests orsupports R, arranged ou the lower edge of said band, substantially asand for the purposes set forth.

5. The combination, with the Sform bracketwire `W, adapted to connect atone of its ends with a standard-support, of the frame F, made with thehoop-forni band b', having the Supports It arranged thereon. andoppositelyplaced buttoning devices, and the wires N, constructed attheir upper ends with helical coi-ls, said wires being upwardlyprojected from said frame, substantially as and for the purposes setforth.

6. The combination, with a standard-support made in two parts and havinga pivotal connection in which the upper part of said standard may turn,ofthe plates p', arranged on the upper part of said standard, theS-forin brackets W, each arranged upon their inner ends to connect withone of said plates, the frame F, arranged on the outer ends of each ofsaid bracket-wires, the band b', constructed with oppositely-arrangedbuttoning devices and arranged on each of said frames, substantially inthe manner as and 'for the purposes set forth.

Signed at Troy, New York, this 5th day of May, 1887, and in the presenceoftwo witnesses whose names are hereto written.
